Violence in Venice 1-15-13

A man described as approximately 45 years old beat up another man described as “25-ish” just past 10pm near the bus bench in front of the new headquarters for Producer Joel Silver’s “Silver Pictures” at 1601 Main. LAPD responded with patrol units and a helicopter.

The victim was unconscious but breathing when police responded. A witness said the victim “looked dead”, but was receiving medical attention for lacerations to the head.

The attacker ran from the scene but was then seen at Muni’s liquor on Pacific, bloody and shirtless. The attacker then ran towards the beach where police arrested him at 25th and Ocean Front Walk. The man had lacerations to his hands and an ambulance was also called for him.

Yo! Venice! was started by two friends, Keri and Bret, to create a communal blog for residents of Venice Beach California.
In today’s world of RSS feeds, they felt that a blog would be a perfect place for people to let others know how they view the Venice Beach community through words and pictures. It is hoped that this site will become a communal blog with many people submitting stories for all in the community to share.
